Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

To David and the Grasshopper Development Team,

A small request that could be helpful to some. It would be nice to have a way to trigger a method upon unloading or closing grasshopper.

For example, a way to trigger a function that might do something on exiting grasshopper - for instance - have a function that would cause a window appear that could be used to do something like trigger a save process for data created in a custom plugin or alternatively destruct something, a display instance for example - you can imagine.

Just a thought.

Grasshopper never really closes after it starts. Even the GrasshopperUnloadPlugin command only goes so far. You could add an eventhandler to the grasshopper main window (probably visiblechanged will work, I'm on an ipad now and cannot test). Also Rhino has events for when it shuts down.

If you had a Surface Pro rather than an iPad, you could test it.

Wonder how those windows tablets handle Rhino... they rarely have 2 gb of ram, mostly 1.

Actually Surface pro has 4-8 GB, at least according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface :)

Yep, I think Mateusz is thinking of the normal Surface, which runs Windows RT (Rhino won't even install there).

My girlfriend has a Surface Pro 2 with 8 GB of ram and an i5 processor, it's basically a laptop in tablet form. You can go up to an i7 with the Surface Pro 3.

Btw, there was never a Surface tablet with 1 GB of ram, the first one released started with 2 GB.

Why girlfriends always have better notebooks/tablets than us?

so true...

Surface Pro3 + VS2013 = geil combo lvl 60.

To be fair, she uses it to draw using a stylus and Photoshop. The tablet has an awesome pressure sensitive screen, many artists are choosing it over specialized graphics tablets.

I really have no use for something like this, David on the other hand I think he likes to draw...

I do like to draw. On paper. With pen.

Paper has the most amazing pressure sensitive resolution. If only it had undo...

I'd say consider the tradeoffs, but with 1024 pressure levels and movement resolution of 5080 dpi, the only advantage of pen and paper is being immune to an EMP blast.

@Vicente - don't forget about this
